What we do
Because we can is a new kind of Architecture firm: A Design-Build Studio. That's a mash-up of architects, artists, builders, designers, and fabricators. With our own robot-empowered fabrication shop, we make what we design.
Because We Can is lead by a husband & wife team: Jeffrey McGrew and Jillian Northrup. Using sustainable or eco-friendly materials and finishes our goal is to make the world a more interesting, productive, sustainable, and overall better place.
Every member of our team spends time on all aspects of a single project from concept designs to computer modeling to fabrication. One designer remains physically involved with the project from beginning to completion. We do not have a single shop forman, a single designer, or a single computer expert, instead we all touch all aspects of the design production. We're intensively collaborative, both within our office and with our clients, and we're a lot of fun to work with.
Most of our projects consist of interior design and creative build-outs, custom furniture designs, whole creative environments, and buildings.
We're an open company. Click here to see how we do what we do.
